the gold-colored head, which I have to screw on to be able to use it for the press valve, the rubber in it breaks down prematurely, so the pressure gauge becomes unusable. Does anyone know a solution to this? or another pressure gauge that is more durable and does not release almost any air during measurement?

I have an pressure gauge: Schwalbe Airmax Pro. I like it. But it has a big flaw, and unfortunately I can't find a spare part for it.

My Topeak D2 has served me well and is the gauge I have used almost every day for close to 3yrs. I think I have changed the battery once in this time. No other issues whatsoever.
I also have an SKS Airchecker that I bought while on a trip because I forgot my Topeak at home. It works fine, but the Topeak is my preference.
FWIW these two gauges read very close to one another, so I believe they are both acceptably accurate for my needs.

I use a Jayco analog dial gauge specifically for presta.

This happens a lot. Just get a new rubber o-ring from ebay or amazon.
They come in many sizes, you need to measure the inside diameter and outside diameter.
A pack of 5 will keep you going for years.
